Did you ever stop to think about hunger? I mean it is something we often take for granted. I mean we get hungry we eat. After a while we get hungry again. Some are more susceptable to hunger than others. Some can go through a day and not think about food. Others, myself included, enjoy a good meal. The smell of a steak sizzling on the fire or chili simmering on the stove. Yum Yum I can almost taste it now.
Alot of life is something like hunger. Hunger is so ingrained in who we are that we do not think about it anymore than we think about breathing or going to pee. Hunger is a real motivating force though when you think about it. Many people will do many strange things under the influence of hunger. I mean have you ever gotten in the way of someone having a chocolate attack and needing a fix? FOR REAL best get out the way fast. Anyway if we never got hungry how would our lives be different? Would we change the way we act? Would our social lives change drastically? I mean how many events on your social calender has anything to do with food?
A hunger for life can be a good thing. It can be a strong motivator moving us along the highway of life with a purpose albeit perhaps not a very noble purpose. After all I believe it is hunger that motivates people to achieve new heights in the race of life. Depending on how hungry a person is determines how hard they will work for advancement. How badly do you want it? How much are you willing to sacrifice to get it? HOW HUNGRY ARE YOU?
Those who do not have an appetite for life perhaps are not as interesting or motivated as those who do. There are some people who have no hopes and dreams (no hunger) but are just content living life on a status quo basis. Nothing too exciting to report but they sure are skinny.
Just like starvation to the body can make one weak, so too can starvation of ones spirit. A lack of hunger in one’s spirit could make life hard to live and challenges tough to face. Grab a good steak and get some meat on them bones and embrace life to its fullest. Develope a hunger for adventure and you will find that life can be very rewarding.
